Above them, on the sky of June, • Broad as a buckler, glow'd the moon, Flooding with glory vale and hill, In silver sprang the mountain-rill, The weeping shrub in silver bent, A pile of silver stood the tent : All soundless, sweet tranquillity, All beauty, hill, and tent, and tree.

Constantine !" TESTIMONIES in favour of SALT u a MANURE, and a con diment for Horse, Cow, and Sheep; with Testimonies of its vast Importance in the Arts, in Manufactures, and in the Fisheries ; accoMpanied by Testimonies in Favour of Agricul ture. Br THE Rev. B. DAcs; A.L.S.—London and Man chester, 1826. This is an admirable treatise, end professing as it does, to draw from long experience, its testimonies in favour of Salt as a m anure , i s entitled to very general consideration. Its importance to agricultur e is great, and when we, reflect how vital a part of our national prosperity consists in the cultivation of land —that home wealth of all others the least precarious --we feel satitified that this author in his publication of the present treatise has bestowed a great advantage on the agricultural part of the community. The author has enriched his work by a very copious selection of di versified but interesting intelhgence from various authors, bearing upon the superior excellence of salt as a manure and a condiment. Among these autho rities we are pleased to meet with the scientific opi nions of Dr., Paris, whose inquisitive genius pries into the hidden stores of nature, and developes their use for the benefit of Mau. The autho r has enriched his works with the learning and practical experience of other gifted individuals, whose o b se r vat i ons will be found highly edifying and satisfactory to the experi mentalist in agricultural ,affairs. We . do the proprie tors of land and general, no small service by recommending a work of such intrinsic merit to their notice, and, we may safelyadd, their-ap probation. We give the following extract as a ape*. men of the testimonal department of the work :—. TIESTIMOHIEE FROM DR. PASSE. Ellt MI Wixom I , nix „AI,. B,ertows OP Tim eavat szOLoalcAL BooHarr Or COMM/AL. 4 Sea-sand ie very porta! 111 * (1 .. i tz the county of Cornwall for manure, and the quantity w hichis every leaven tarried away from different parts of the coast for the purpose of manure almost exceeds belief. . The expellee of land carriage for sand, used in the county, has been, considered as amounting at least to thirty thou sand pounds annually." "'That the tieneficial operation of this sand tlepend the presence of calc areous matter t h ere Cannot he a doubt, but, a s upon the same time, w e are borne out by unequivocal facts, in believing that the Sea-salt, with which it taste, contributes ma terially to its fertilisi ng powers. 44 Salt answ ers b eat as a manure, for green crops ; especially for turnips and clover. It is not of much benefit to barley . or wheat if sown, but in comppat it proves eery advantageous ; using thirty CorMah) or forty-five Winchester bushels, per Coruith Acre . ; o which is larger t h an t h e statut e a cre , nearly in the ratio of six to five.--Prepare the ground for turnips, and sow the salt a fortnight before the seed ; or longer, if a larger quantity of salt is used. Mr. Seekler, at Ilenver in the perish of Gwinear, has just applied salt in the above proportion, to poor exhausted land ; being clay, inimical to turnips : the effect has been a heavy rich crop, which I have had an opportunity of seeing. It is Ruth a one, as a hundred tons of dung per acre, would scarcely produce in the same la4d.—The salt employed, is that which is considered refuse after having cured the fish, and been condemned by the Excise. Over this they throw some dirt; and it is , then sold to the far mere by the fish curers. If the duty were taken off salt, for every bushel now used there would be at least a hundred bushels em ployed for this purpose. It is been said that the value of the refuse salt, as manure, depends upon the soil and animal matter which adheres to it; but the farmer knows front experience, that salt is to be preferred, which has cured only one bulk of fish ; and they give a higher price for it, than for that which has been twice employed, land which consequently contains more animal matter. Where au estate has been salted for two or: three crops, the effects are visible for at least seven years.—lt has a particular tendency to convert poor and light soils into firm and adhesive ones ; "gies my them body." Amongst the farmers there is a general scramble for the refuse salt, to try who can get most of it by purchase. The following curious anecdote may be related, as serving to flies trate the effects of salt : Mr. Seckler tussle a little heap of earth in the midst of a field; on the top of which a cart load of refuse salt was thrown : the earth in the heap itself, and (after its re inoval) the earth under it for upwards of two feet deep to the clay, was rendered so perfectly barren, that the most common weeds would not vegetate in it. This barren earth, however, furnished the richest dressing for the remainder of the field.—Mr. Seckler found salt the best preservative against the Ini/dstv in wheat. When the wheat followed turnips with salt, it escaped the mil dew, which attacked other fields that were not salted ; and this he finds to hold universally good, as far as his experience goes.— The improvement of bad hay by salt, applied in the proportion of about one hundred weight • to three tone, and sprinkled between the layers, is very striking : preventing mildew, and rendering it more grateful and beneficial to cattle, especially if the hay is bad and even in good hay, it is very greatly ameliorated.—A testimony, in favour of the benefit of salt, is furnished by the striking ferti• pity of the land in the neighbourhood of theses-shore in Cornwall; more especially in those situations which are favourable to the general distribution of the saline spray, as is exemplified in the parish of Fennor. As to the Shelly sand, one of the bene ficial results, which attends the application of this manure, sic petals upon its containing a quantity of sea.salt. It is computed that 54,000 cart-loads of this sand are annually brought from Padstow harbour for manure ; a considerable portion of which is.carried from four. to seven or eight miles in that country ; and, notwithstanding this very same sand is in many places drifted to these estates, the farmers prefer sending for it to the secs-shore. The same circumstance occurs at Hayle all the sand used in that neighbourhood is taken from the beach, although it might be ob tained with much less trouble and expence, frOnt drifted heaps. ,This is a fact not generally known but I can bear testimony to its truth....-That salt, applied in a certain proportion, has the power of preserving vegetable as well as animal matter, is evident from the fact, that all 'the beanis and wood about the fish cellars and salt warehouses, . remain andecasfed for apes. 1 have re ceived the following account, from my friend Mr. Vivian. "On the 26th November, 1814, I visited the salt mines of //a/itiss, distant about eight miles from the town of Salsburgh. As we entered the mine we found its sides and roof strongly timbered..— We were informed that the wood was never 4110117 ft to decay; a circumstance which they attributed to the antiseptic ;Aimee of the salt." It is on account of this antiseptic power of salt that the proprietor of a new vessel is alwayi anxious to obtain a freight of suit to season her." " No idea can be formed of the distress of the lower orders of people, in the inland parts of Cornwall, for want of salt. They are obliged to eat their potatoes without any relish, unless they can beg from the neighbouring farmer a little pickle : it is the univer sal clamour, " (five could but have a little salt, we should be eon. tooted." They appear to have &desire fin' salt, almost as strong us the fatal passion fur ardent spirits; and a degree of tzbiliilk *ion and Comfort is experiences] after it, which it is difficult for those who have not witnessed it to conceive. Diseases of the stomach are the prevalent complaint of these poor people: stud I ant induced to believe, from observations suede during an exten sive practice, that children become infested with worms, by it diet offish that is not properly salted. The farmer's bounty of a little pickle is considered as the greatest of all luxury; and it w reserved , for their Sunday's dinner. The great demand of these poor is not for fresh fish, but for silt fish. Three-fourths of all the fish they use, is corned. Potatoes, if boiled with a email quantity dealt, are Much snore soft and floury, and more nutritious and digestible; if steamed,; small quantity of salt should be strewed over them. Some years ago a mast fatal and contagious fever raged at Jefevegialey, which baffled ill the medieel skill in the neigh bourhood ; and no etforts succeeded in mitigating the violence of the contagion. In this dilemma, an immense shoal of pilchards appeared ; the warehouses containing salt were opened, and access afforded to them; and the fever instantly stopped. The impres sion upon the people was, that it was owing to antiseptic effluvia from the salt; but may it not rather be attributed to the circum stance, of their food becoming more nutritious, on account of the increase in its saltness ?" " The operation of the Salt-laws, in Cornwall, is highly preju dicial to the morals of the people ; it is, indeed, my opinion, that no act of the legislature could do more towards improving the con dition and increasing the comforts of the lower orders, than a total abolition ofthe tyrannical, unjust, and impolitic Duties on -Salt."l * This is foul fishery salt. Of pure salt, a third of the pun tity might be sufficient. Dr. Parishes just quitted his extensi►e practice in Cornwall, for London, to the great regret of the county who have expressed their saute of his medical and other services to all classes of the in habitants, by a present of plate to the amount of 5004 value. 17th Nev. 1817..---Sir T. B. PROGRESS OF KNOWLEDGE. The TENDENCY of PREVALENT OPINIONS ABOUT KNOWLEDGE CONSIDERED; a Sermon preached before the University of Cambridge, on Commencement Sunday, July 2, 1826, by the Rev.

It takes up a branch of the great question, which has been so much agitated in the present times respecting the (lir riare among of a sense per nicious fusion of knowledge, and its probable consequences ; and we are happy to observe, that its learned author is in general very free 'film that feeling of suspicion, if not hostility, towards the advance of knowledge, which disposed W teo s a y, estimate in fle the ne ragreaterl b e at one time we fear was a little too on of th eir p ca o u rt s i e o ' n h o ig f il t i rlis discourse, we cannot. but regret to ob. parts of the clerical asweare bdy. serve, that in one or two particulars, the writer Seems to have been , a little infected with that unfortunate s pi r it of misapprehension as to the nature and tend ency of certain studies, which we think a more intimate ' ac quaintance with them could not fail to remove • and value, whieh but leads even not to onl a y s t u e pp an osi u ti n o fi n ir th d a e t and mischievous character.

Advertisements promptly attended to, and displayed to advantage. the undue preponderance which is thus given to those particular branches of knowledge, which, while they tend most to immediate utility and gain, have little effect in promoting the improvement of human nature. To such an argument in general we have nothing to object, hut we must say we think our author has been unfortunate in fixing his accusation upon one or two particidarbranches of knoWledge, whichare, in our estimation, far from deserving such a stigma. Thus when he laments the decline of pure classical literature, of sound metaphisical and ethical studies, we most cordially agree with him. But when we find him going on to deprecate the study of the material universe as that which is now - substituted, and this,' only with a view - to the command which such knowledge gives us over the powers of nature, and the meanq which it furnishes by physical inventions for improving the arts of life, and bestowing immediate reward and gain on those whose sagacityleads them to discovery them selves, or enables them to profit by the discoveries of otherS ;—when. we find such rt train of reflettion in dulged in, we must say it appears to us that it can have been dictated by nothing but an unfortunate mis conception, not to say prejudice, against physical studies. We would only ask is it the fact that pure physical and mathematical investigation is neglected-- or that it is followed up on such merely mercenary views as he would insinuate ?,.--we venture to answer boldly in the negative. We arc convinced that the sciences are cultivated in retirement and obscurity by hundreds of philosophical votaries, who value knowledge for its own sake, and who cultivate it with the purest and most elevated ideas of its objects, in tending to the intellectual and moral improvement of the human character. IThe pursuit of knowledge, like ell other pursuits, will doubtless call forth a host of quacks and charla tans, who, by their absurd pretensions, and delusive speculations for advancing intellectual improvement by short cuts and royal roads to perfection, only bring discredit on the cause they pretend to advocate, and in all the censures which our author may send forth against such pretender.,, he has our most hearty concurrence ; but we regret to see such pretensions and such schemes confounded with the legitimate objects of scientific instruction, and to have it imagined that the age has no fruitalof real philosophy to display but these. Science is through- . out represented by our author as if it consisted merely (to use his own words in " arranging the p r od uc t s o f the material world i n their scientific order, in using the tools of the labo ra t or y, an d t h e engines of the mechanist." And he talks of such pursuits as " The million facts, the hurry, the fever, the impa tience, of the experiment a li s t, an d t h e di scoverer which he forcibly contrasts with the elevated and calm contemplations, the thoughtful' hearts, the Christian peace and joy, of sev era l eminent metap h ys i cians, scho rs, and divines. We deprecate such contrasts ; they are as useless as unfair ; they are dictated by a partial learning to one single branch of knowledge to the exclusion of others; vaiercal, upon a snore extended [loo, , ..iznpartial view of things, we are tOniinced it will .66 , 1 1 c null that every branch of enquiry which the human mind is 'qualified to follow up, not only may, but ought to be so followed up, and will in its proper place and degree, become an important agent in the great work of universal improvement.

(From the .E'varisrelical Itrogoline.)- The following are extracts from the Journal of the Rev. Mr. Hyde, Wesleyan Misoionary at Montserrat : Monday, March 13, .1826.—T0-day Mrs. Jones was co much recovered, as to justify my hearing, from her own lips, the almost unparalleled narrative of the wreck of the Maria. I had been waiting with some anxiety to hear the particulars from her, the only one spared to relate the sad story. The following, to the best of my recollection, forms a correct account After they left Montserrat, on Monday evening, they had to pass through a most fearful night. The wind blew very hard, and the sea was unusually heavy. The day fol lowing was one of a very distressing description, but to wards sunset they were fast approaching the island of Antigua. The Captain was aware of the dange:ous reefs, rocks, and sands, which lie in such fearful numbers at the mouth of St. John's harbour, and endeavoured to avoid them. The missionaries were on deck, expressing their joy at the prospect of supping and sleeping ashore; and the children below were singing in the cabin, in imitation of their fa thers, and playing around their mothers. All now were without fear but 'Airs. Jones, and her mind (she says) w as so distracted f or a t i me with the idea that the vessel would yet be lost, that she had to pray earnestly against it. However, the fear did not leave her, but these words came to her recollection, and so comforted her, that she could do nothing but repeat them to herself : at fi.r.esartesbl:eult Worets e he v e cnrry:o:'uo;tW ce ln fl s a mh t e e t alarm e a a n k el the rtal, 'was apread-suddeoly through the .4 Jesus protects; my fears begone!
